....That is one of the things I discovered this afternoon while playing the CP5. No graded hammer action. This intended purchase of mine has taken a bizarre twist or so it seems. As the name of the thread suggests I was on the brink of purchasing the cheapo brand new Studiologic Numa, getting sidetracked by the offer of a secondhand yamaha CP5 at 10 miles from my home.
After playing this instrument for a while and after due consideration I have opted not to buy it for several reasons.
The absence of graded hammer action is one of them , although being a minor one. I had taken along my small monitors to compare the sound of this beast to the one of my old P80 and to put it simply, what I missed was the WOW factor...On top of that the asking price for this CP5 ( in mint condition but still well over six years old) was close to 1500 euros.
I did the maths, realized I still had a 15% discount coupon with the largest and cheapest music store in Holland, and.............ordered a brand new Yamaha CP4 for 1695 euros, with a 30 days trial period..........PPffff.......
